Welcome to Mythology & the Humanities (HUM2310)! We are so thrilled to have you on this journey exploring the epic stories and timeless ideas that have shaped our world.

To help you get settled, we’ve designed our Canvas course shell to be your home base for all things class-related. Here is your quick-start guide to navigating the space like a pro.

Your Daily Navigation Essentials

You’ll find everything you need organized in the left-hand sidebar. These two tabs will be your primary stops throughout the semester:

Modules: Think of this as your roadmap. When you click here, you’ll find all our weekly readings, lessons, assignments, and supplementary resources organized chronologically. We recommend starting here every time you log in to ensure you stay on track with our course flow. This is also the course homepage by default.
Announcements: This is our digital megaphone! Please check this tab frequently (and keep your Canvas notifications turned on). We will use this space to share important updates, helpful hints for upcoming assignments, and exciting connections between our course material and current events.

Staying Connected

Communication is at the heart of the humanities. If you have a question about an assignment, need a quick clarification, or want to discuss a topic further, please reach out!

Canvas Inbox (Messaging): You don't need to hunt for our email addresses. Simply click the Inbox icon located on the far-left global navigation bar (the main menu on the very edge of your browser screen). From there, you can compose a new message, select our course, and send us a direct message. We check these regularly and look forward to hearing from you.

Pro Tip: Familiarize yourself with the Modules page first thing. Seeing the arc of our semester laid out can help you manage your time and dive deeper into the myths and themes that interest you most.

We are looking forward to a fantastic term of discovery together! If you run into any technical hurdles, please reach out via the Inbox — we are here to help!
